Absence of pathogenic mitochondrial DNA mutations in mouse brain tumors
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Somatic mutations in the mitochondrial genome occur in numerous tumor types including brain tumors. These mutations are generally found in the hypervariable regions I and II of the displacement loop and unlikely alter mitochondrial f...
